The ships

Fantastiko

Sailing ship ”Fantastiko” is a beautiful 26-meter long two-master ketch. It is perfectly suited for (sea) sailing expeditions!

The vessel was built at a specialized shipyard, Chinook in Haarlem, the Netherlands. The construction, from 2002 till 2012, was carried out as a Youth Care project of the province of North-Holland. Two hundred youngsters build the ship together with dozens of experts. The Fantastiko received a Register Holland quality label. The fully equipped ship offers room for 16 persons.

Lauwerszee

The ”Lauwerszee” is a comfortable clipper with good sailing abilities. The ship, built in 1915, has a beautiful naval appareance and is fully equipped with all modern facilities.

In the front of the ship there’s a spacious saloon and an open kitchen. The Lauwerszee is a wide clipper with a manageable rig. The width makes for good stability – no need to worry about sea sickness!

Captains Aart and Anna have years of experience on Dutch waters and love to show their guests the most beautiful spots.
